MP4 video has been inserted into Captivate 2019, it won't play in preview or when published.Verified that video works in editing software.Video image displays on pasteboard.I read in another post that Captivate requires a specific type of mp4.  Not sure how to accomplish that 

Hello everyone, I would like to create a complex interactive presentation with animated texts, illustrations, elements and those things. I took a look at Adobe XD, but it seems to have limitations, one of them being the need of internet. Which Adobe program would be ideal for this? Is it possible to save in an especifc file format, put on a pen drive and use it as a presentation in every computer with no need of external softwares? Would Adobe Animate do this kind of thing? Thanks for your attention. Igor Oliveira,

How do I remove the video progress bar, so users can't skip ahead?

Hi,I have an event video, set to play automatically. As the video plays I want the key points to appear to the left.  The video is:-An event video-Plays automatically-Displays for Rest of Slide-Does NOT have Pause slide till the end of the video selected.  Each Text Caption is:-Displayed for a specific time-Is arranged on the timeline to appear in time with the video's audio It works fine in preview, but when trying to view in HTML5, the text captions do not appear, and the slide does not advance after the video is finished. It is as if the slide is pausing.  Please, could someone advise what I am doing wrong?

Hi, all. I'm new to Captivate and am having some stressful challenges making my training module accessible / ready for easy use with a screen reader.  On quiz slides, I can get the reader to read the answers, however, it is not reading the question. AND, once I manage to submit a response, the feedback is not read by the screen reader either.  Please help!

I am using the latest captivate version. When I try to preview my project it opens a broswer window that does not contain the usual localhost:xxxx/  E.G.2019 HTML5 Preview URL: http://html5temp8804310345721pre/index.html2017 HTML5 Preview URL: localhost:9806/HTML5Temp7052315390622Pre/index.html I tried adding "localhost:9806/" to the 2019 URL, but still did not get the preview. Help? 

Hello I am unable to download characters from the asset library. I receive a  message saying it has been 100% downloaded but when i got to the character download page there isn't anything there. Is there a lag? Please advise   

Since yesterday, my Captivate projects are not loading when trying to preview. It's just a continuous circle spinning. Is anyone else having this issue?

INTRODUCTION:I have 11 sections within a chapter (only 4 are displayed for now), with 4 to 5 questions after every section.  BACKGROUND:With the help of 'Branch Aware', I can display the results slide after each section.  DESIRED OUTPUT:On clicking on 'Continue' button, the user needs to go to the next section.For example, let us consider the user read through section 1, they have attempted the quiz for Section 1 and the result slide is displayed. Once the user clicks on 'Continue', they should be diverted back to Section 2.ORAdd a Results slide after every sectional assessment. ACTUAL OUTPUT:What is happening now is when they click on 'Continue', they go ahead to the temporary Slide 45 which is created. The 'Continue' button executes advanced actions for last slide of each section as follows: How do I code the 'Continue' button or add sectional Results slide?Thanks in advance 🙂

UPDATE:Found the answer here:https://community.adobe.com/t5/Captivate/Javascript-go-to-next-slide-from-Web-Object/td-p/9515980 ******Hi! I need to have a button inside an HTML5 animation (oam) or web object which makes the parent window (Captivate) navigate to the next slide. I've seen this working in Storyline with a button inside an HTML5 object which triggers this javascript function when clicked:Function next(hypedocument, element, event) {console.log("go to next");var player  =  parent.GetPlayer(); /* player */player.SetVar ("next",Math.floor((Math.random() * 100) + 1));} The user needs to navigate an interactive HTML5 animation in a slide before proceeding to the next one, so that's why I need the button inside the web object to tell Captivate to go to the next slide.Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, does anyone know if Adobe 9 allows close captions on mp4 files without having to insert the caption in the project? This would be a huge selling feature for us as we need to be AODA compliant.

Are there any tips, tutorials, or best pratices out there for specifically using Animate CC with Captivate? Thank you

Using Captivate 9 on Windows 7 64-bitI am working on a training video. I do not want the learner to be able to advance to the next slide by clicking NEXT until the video is done playing, which I have successfully succeeded doing by going to the skin editor and taking off all the forward options. I also placed a next button after the slide completes.I'm wondering if something can be set up so that if the learner has watched the video and advanced and then comes back, they won't be required to watch the entire video again before advancing. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks!

Hi there guys!I'm new to Captivate. I've been using Captivate 2019 version  11.5.0.476 on Windows. I was asked to use it because the company I work for already bought a license.Everything was going okay until I needed to validate a simple text box before letting the user navigate to the next slide. I only need the user to enter a specific IP address, let's say: 10.10.150.20. These are the steps I have taken:1. I created a variable called v_ip_address already set to "10.10.150.20". (I have tried both with and without the quotation marks)2. The text box to be validated is called S03_Text_Entry_Box_1 and has an associated variable with the same name3. I created an Advanced Action called S03_Address_Validation with a condition that checks if S03_Text_Entry_Box_1 is equal to v_ip_address and only runs one action: "Go to next slide"4. Then, on the text box to be validated I assigned that Advanced Action called S03_Address_Validation both On Success and On Focus Lost5. On the text b

Hello!I have a problem that never happened before with me regarding captivate. I start a project from a power point presentation and added some interactive processes. However, when I publish it, the quality of image is not good. It is blurred and almost painful to read the text. I have already selected high quality in publish settings, but this didn't seem to change the final quality.Does anybody has an idea of what can I do? This is a very important project to me, and I am afraid for this bad quality.Thanks in advance!

Wenn ich eine Folie mit Textfeldern ausdrucke die ein Teilnehmer ausgefüllt hat  (Siehe Screenshot 1) damit hier eine Unterschrift geleistet wird übernimmt der Druck die persönlichen Angaben und ergänzt diese mit Datum- und Unterschriftfeld sowie einem weiteren Text unten (Zutritt zu Tamol-Cluster usw.).Das ist dann auch in A4. (Siehe 2ten Screenshot)Wie kann ich das in Captivate erstellen? Freue mich sehr auf FeedbackIf I print out a slide with text fields filled out by a participant (see screenshot 1) to make a signature here, the print will take over the personal information and complete it with a date and signature field and another text below (access to Tamol clusters, etc.). ). That's also in A4. (See 2nd screenshot) How can I create this in Captivate? I am looking forward to your feedback

Hi, I'm confused about the purpose of the Language option in the publish settings. I've tried exporting to different languages but I don't see any changes in the published file.  It's my understanding that any text or audio files that need to be translated must be replaced with appropriate files. I just want to make sure I'm not missing some magical auto-translation function that I don't know about.  Thanks much!

I am creating a project for a school LMS, and I have a few slides to create a Custom Care Plan that the students can enter in their own ideas and thoughts and it will generate all the ideas they have at the end (a separate slide). I am not quite sure how I can get this to work, as it isn't a quiz to test students with, but a written response section on four or more slides, each with separate areas of the Care Plan that we want them to fill in their own ideas on, so it will create their own unique Plan at the end, with a slide with the results of their input. Not sure if that can be created or not using Captivate, or if this is something I would need an outside source, such as a website to do this or another program to create the Plan, that can then be imported into Captivate either through a hyperlink or button? Also, if it can be done, is there a way to make it printable within Captivate's publishing features or would it depend on the internet browser that the project is played on?

Kann man Captivate Quiz mit mehreren Fragen (Ja/Nein) auf einer Folie erstellen und Ergebnis dann auf eine Seite drucken?Siehe Beispiele. DANKE für Feedback! Can you create Captivate Quiz with multiple questions (yes / no) on one slide and print the result on one page? See examples. Thank you for Feedback

Hi everyone-I'm beginning the process of updating my older Captivate 8/9/2017 projects to html5. They were previously published as swf/html5.  What are the best resources that you have found on how to approach this? I've found older blog posts from 2015/2016, but I want to make sure I'm following current guidance. I've just upgraded to Captivate 2019. Thanks!Colleen

Hi,I have a problem with the Captivate 2019 timeline, when I try to add effects to shapes or try to make different objects appear in sequence, the timeline is paused in the middle of the appearance of the object or effect without any reason, and in the same way i don't know how to make the reproduction resume. I have no idea if this has to do with any action or directly this is the program. Thanks, i appreciate your help. 

I just saw this post from Rustici Software, the people behind SCORM Cloud LMS. https://support.scorm.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035814314-Blocked-SCORM-Exit-Postbacks-with-Google-Chrome-78-and-Above This new version of Chrome will ship in late October 2019.  If your userbase has many Google Chrome users, and you suddenly start getting lots of complaints about LMS completion not being recorded, this might be the reason.

Good morning, everyone.Sorry to bother you, but I'll need your help.I just started on Captivate (I used to use Articulate before)And I would like to know if it is possible to create question slides in free form (I don't want to use the template) and I would like them to be counted in the result slide.Is that possible?I would like to create questions like in the first image rather than the second.
